Why aren't talking about doing more rounds at a tournament? Or giving a host the option to do so?  That I think is an obvious fix to this.  MN state had a this issue and I think that would have salved that..

im not calling anyone out, im just out having fun and letting my possible opponents know that im waiting and i'll be ready to face them. and whoever is thumbing down my reply obviously doesn't like what i have to say, they can deal with it cause i was only showing my determination and my excitement to be able to go to nationals which isn't a crime.

You're being rude about a specific person, Andy. You can be enthusiastic without singling out this one girl.
i honestly don't mean to be rude im just trying to be optimistic about my games and just show that im not scared to take on anybody at any level of skill. im really sorry for being rude, i really am i never intended to be rude, and if it was about my comment on people thumbing down my comments all the time, i just think people do that to get on my nerves and what the thumbing down does to me is it just hurts me emotionally when every single comment i make no matter what it is i always get thumbed down, i don't post my comments to impress anybody, i just speak my mind cause whatever some of the things i say is on my mind like when someone says their gonna beat me at a game or me being afraid of facing them or avoid a certain game that i wanna play even if it's sarcastic or to joke around i don't take it as a joke, i take it seriously cause im showing im not afraid of them, and im not gonna avoid playing a certain game just because they say im gonna be beat by someone. when people don't say "jk" after they say something to joke with i ASSUME that their serious about it cause i can't tell if someone's joking around with me or not, that's just a problem i have with Asperger Syndrome.

This is where you have to learn more control. Some things are better left unsaid.

I think New Raven is just so excited to finally be going to Nats, that he's speaking a bit too fast before thinking.  I understand his excitement, and I'm glad he's going.

But Andy, you do need to tone down your posts telling people how "you aren't scared of anyone".  No one is accusing you of being scared of the competition, and so it just comes across weirdly for you to point out your lack of fear on multiple threads.

Keep the excitement, lose the exaggerated swagger :)

Ultimately the host makes those decisions anyway. At both Florida States and Southeast Regionals, I added an extra round to settle placing disputes. I know not every host has time in the schedule to do this, but I did. I talked to both Rob and Roy on the phone, and they both agreed that if time permitted, this would be the best solution.

All players left content because a heirarchy of tie-breakers did not decide their fate. They settled that at the table with their cards, fun, and fellowship.  ;D

So we need away to add extra rounds with having to make some calls then?

The point was that the PTBs are OK with extra rounds and playoffs when necessary. You do not need to call them.
